Do you use compact fluorescent lightbulbs in your home? Do you vaccinate your children or self?

They have a lot of mercury in them so why would you expose yourself like that?

1. yes and yes. I don't plan to break open my fluorescent bulbs and eat the

residue, and there isn't enough mercury in vaccines to have harmed me in the least.

Did you know that the gas you put in your gas tank is EXTREMELY POISONOUS? And FLAMMABLE??? ZOMG, we're all gonna die!!!!! STOP PUTTING GAS IN YOUR CAR!!!!!!!

3. Did you know that people can drown in WATER!!!! OMG!!!!

5. Too much dihydrogen monoxide is definitely deadly.

11. Everyone who drinks it ultimately dies.

And those who breathe it in its liquid form die sooner -- as do those who immerse themselves in it in its solid form.

16. And do you know your food is contaminated with

a compound made of an explosive metal and deadly gas?

2. Should children ever be treated in a hospital

since some get hospital acquired infections? It is better not to intervene but let nature run its course whatever the outcome :sarcasm: Think of the money we could save without health care that can always have some side affects.

4. exactly. I hear Amish rarely use hospitals and thusly rarely die. WHO IS STIFLING MY VOICE!!!!!

someone is unreccing me and making sure my voice can not be heard. it's not fair.

8. wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[damntexdem]

13. And the Amish NEVER unrec you.

Why not put DU on an Amish server and thus prevent such stifling?

[damntexdem]

12. That's right: hospitals are full of mercury!

Even though they don't use thermometers with mercury any more, those hospitals still have mercury in them. And they contain a lot of other dangerous chemicals, too.

6. very odd post, stupid too

I will continue to eat compact fluorescent lightbulbs for breakfast while vaccinating my entire family every day, I don't care what you say.

17. I think you missed the sarcasm

9. As kids we played with mercury balls.

15. As kids we dipped our...

... oh never mind, for a moment I thought this was Da Lounge.

10. I do use compact flourescent bulbs, and am replacing incandescents when they burn out.

But I hadn't thought of using the bulbs to vaccinate myself. ;-)

Of course I vaccinate myself and urge my family to get vaccinated. We know enough to ignore the anti-vaccination nutcases, who pop everywhere, including on here (unfortunately).

14. No mercury bulbs at home, but we do vaccinate the family.

I'm not sure the disposal issues have been answered for those bulbs, so I'm not sure they're actually an environmental positive.
